    • If the screw is not turning, do not force it. This can strip the screw. See the How to Remove a Stripped Screw guide if the screw is already stripped.

    • Using the #00 screwdriver, unscrew the six, 6mm Phillips screws.

    • Use the spudger to pry into the space between the blue back cover and the white body to take off the back cover.

    I didn’t have a spudger but a flat 3/32” jeweler’s screwdriver worked just as well. Also, the battery slides out the side, nothing to undo. I slid it out using a jeweler’s screwdriver. (Don’t touch any electrical components or traces with the metal tip.) If you’re not sure the battery is good, turn the unit over and see if there is anything displaying, or run a test operation like 2 x 2 etc. to check before putting the back into place.

    Is a spudger really necessary. I don't have it, just the phillips 00 screwdriver. Do I need to go out and buy one of these?

    You can just use a fingernail to open it.

    • Put the new CR2032 battery in. Never insert a different type of battery!

    • Reverse the steps 2 and 1.

    And if the calculator doesn’t turn on if you press “on”,

    press the “reset” button on the back.

    my TI-30XS battery was mounted directly onto the circuit board under a metal clip, the black battery holder doesn't exist at all. Anyway the battery is the still the same CR2032.

    Different revisions of the board. I also had the version you described.
